Chapter 3 : Alicia in the Wonderland

Chapter 1

"Excuse me! Where are you going? Where were you? We were waiting for ya for so long, even after the college ended in the hope that you will come. It wasn't fair dude. If there was some issue then you might have told us in advance. Why didn't you tell us the day before yesterday?"Alicia was very furious but more than that she was afraid about that night. Shallow replied,"I am sorry guys, I had urgent work out of town, had to go with the parents, since I didn't have numbers of either of you or for that matter any of our classmates, it was practically impossible for me to acknowledge you. Also, I was in the other part of the town which doesn't even come in this route. I am really sorry. Can I get your numbers now?".

Ally was content but Alicia wasn't. She was not able to resist herself in believing what happened that night as just a mere illusion. Shallow seemed to have an exciting plan. He wanted to go to the Merry hills today since tomorrow was the last day to cope up for the Last lake. All of them took their bikes and headed towards the Merry hills. Shallow said,"I have never been to the Merry hills!". To which Ally replied, "strange! Where do you live? Most south Toronto freaks have visited it at least once, seems like an east guy!". Shallow agreed that he lives in the east. As they were climbing, Alicia saw that something wasn't going well. She suddenly looked back to find that Ally was missing. She started screaming very loudly and even crying. Shallow persuaded her that she might have left behind and might be coming soon. To which Alicia replied,"She might have given a call to us to go slowly. Something is surely wrong. We need to find her as soon as possible. I am sensing something very bad".

Shallow and Alicia immediately took a U turn and went on searching Ally. She started riding very quickly which resulted in her fall. She hurt her foot badly. Shallow immediately stepped down and applied a bandage over her foot. He insisted she sit behind him and that they will come to take the bike after they find Ally. She saw the care Shallow had for them. He was constantly trying to convince Alicia that nothing bad has occurred or can ever occur. Soon they found Ally lying unconscious on the road. Both of them got out and helped her to come back to her senses. Ally told them that she fainted due to the hot sun. She didn't bring the cap and was short of water. Shallow told Ally,"You could have taken mine!". Ally to which replied,"What about you then?". "I am fine!",they were looking at a completely pure and caring side of Shallow. Evening was turning into night so they decided to return back to home. Alicia was completely taken by his gesture. She was constantly thinking about Shallow, the ride which he gave to her was one of the most beautiful rides she ever had. For her it was not less than a wonderland. Her feelings for him grew more and more.

She was about to fall asleep and she saw the same kind of smoke once again. Fearfully she went near the window to find that the letters "Wrong decision" were burning. She was hella scared and thought of taking a picture proof but as soon as she went to take her cell she found everything being vanished. She was unable to understand what was happening with her. What was making her have such illusions? Illusions is the word she used to content her for now but something was not in favour of that decision. Love is a four lettered word which can cause 4x destruction or 4x wonders in your life. At the end it all depends on our destiny!
